Lenten and Easter works

Last year for Easter my choir sang Randall Thompsons "Alleluia" and Brahms " How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" We will likely reprise the Thompson but I know where to go when I need expert feedback! I would also be interested in suggestions for Lent and Maundy Thursday. I am open to works that draw from many faiths and countries.

John: One of my all time favorites is the 5-part Thomas Tallis "Lamentations of Jeremiah," intended for Maunday Thursday if I'm not mistaken. It's for men, of course, but we've done it with women on the top line and countertenor on the 2nd line, possibly transposed up just a bit. An absolutely gorgeious setting that still speaks to us after more than 400 years.

I can't recommend a modern edition, since I think we took it out of a Collected Works edition of some kind.

Dave Brubeck as in the "Jazz oficianado" Dave Brubeck. I'm open to looking at it. Personally Nancy I seem to have trouble finding things that are'nt "syrupy" and cliche and I think Easter is too sublime a Holy Day and not make my best effort to find really inspiring music for my choir and congregation would be wrong. I so appreciate you taking the time to respond. Happy New Year.
